Bush: "The tide of freedom ebbs and flows"

Appearing before a friendly audience at a Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Utah today, the president launched what will be a series of speeches aimed at selling his war to a public that isn't much buying it anymore. The main part of today's message was about what you'd expect: The president mentioned 9/11 at least five times; he said we're fighting the terrorists abroad "before they can attack us here at home"; and he talked up the possibility of a free and democratic Iraq.


Did you hear.......Bush was greeted by war protestors in conservative Salt Lake including the Mayor of Salt Lake; and then more protestors in conservative ID. His impromptu foray to a couple of red states in his effort to revive support for the war does not appear to be doing the trick. Is it possible the "tipping point" had been reached.......that Americans finally 'get' who Bush is? We can only hope!
